Beta 3 Standard Library Stabilization

Release label: 1.0.0-beta.3

Release date: 2026-05-22

Status: released beta standard-library stabilization slice.

Scope

This post-1.0.0-beta.2 slice stabilizes the existing standard-library surface before adding new large API families.

Current Work

• Generate docs/language/STDLIB_API.md from lib/std/*.slo.
• Gate the generated catalog in scripts/release-gate.sh.
• Add examples/projects/stdlib-composition as a realistic multi-module command-line project.
• Keep imports explicit and beta-scoped; do not claim stable std APIs, stable ABI, automatic prelude imports, richer host error codes, or general resource ownership semantics.

Acceptance Gates

• ./scripts/render-stdlib-api-doc.sh
• git diff --check
• cargo test --test standard_stdlib_composition_beta
• ./scripts/release-gate.sh

Next Decisions

• Finish naming/tier review for duplicated concrete helper families.
• Identify helpers that should pause until generics rather than expanding more type-specific copies.
• Release this connected slice as the next beta tag only after the catalog, composition example, docs, and final review all pass together.
